New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has socked away more than $2 million for his re-election campaign this year, new campaign-finance filings show.

The Republican has raised more than $2.1 million for his campaign and so far has only spent a little more than $53,000, according to a release from the state's Election Law Enforcement Commission. State Sen. Barbara Buono, the first Democrat to announce her gubernatorial bid, has raised a fraction of Christie's haul: $214,500.

Among Christie's donors: His boyhood idol Roger Staubach. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback donated $3,800, according to the PolitickerNJ blog.

Though he's Jersey-born and bred, Christie told The Star-Ledger in 2010 that he was a "huge Roger Staubach fan and a Cowboys fan" when he was growing up in the 1970s.

Staubach, now in the real estate business, has long given to Republican candidates and committees, and he donated to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign last year.
